Reply To: Resources for transgender employee beginning transition process

Hi Irina:

Looks like you have a great start. In my company, we approach an employee’s transition as a team. The manager, D&I, HR, and our Gender Transition Partner.  We work with the employee around name changes, systems, etc. In addition, we pull all “need to know” people into a training session prior to the employee first presenting in the Workplace. In my personal opinion, it’s about preparing others for being good humans to a person transition. Typically the transitioning employee would be out of the office for a couple of days while training is taking place. I’m happy to talk more if you’d like. 

Cheers,

Irene Brank
